East Worlington House is set to dazzle visitors as thousands of crocuses get ready to bloom.

Thousands of crocuses have spread over many years through the two-acre garden and into the neighbouring churchyard in the location next to the Little Dart River. Guests are free to walk down to the river, across the bridge and Into the wildflower meadow and join the public footpaths in the woods.

Last year the event was blitzed by heavy snow and organisers are hoping to recoup losses from its charity donations.

Campie Hurst-Bannister who organises the event said: “To combat the possibility of you being assailed by cold, thirst or hunger there will, of course, be the exceptional teas in the parish hall. The profit from the beverages goes towards funding the final stages of the refurbishment of the parish hall.

“We are particularly keen that as many of you as possible have the chance to enjoy what we hope will be an uninterrupted show by this year’s crocuses.”
